It’s 1930. After an inadvertent brush with the mafia, cabdriver Tommy Angelo is reluctantly thrust into the world of organized crime. Initially, he is uneasy about falling in with the Salieri family, but soon the rewards become too big to ignore.

It looks like some familiar games from Take-Two Interactive's past could be coming your way with a new lick of paint. The publisher has posted its general presentation slides following its Q1 earnings call for FY2022, revealing some details on what's in the ol' pipeline.

Take-Two has three "new iterations of previously released titles" in the works, though the publisher does note that it's merely a snapshot of how things stand, meaning delays can happen (thanks, VGC).

"I'm not sure there'll be a bigger part of the strategy," he said. "Remastering has always been a part of the strategy.
